Greenworks 60V String Trimmer Review | Quick Wind Head and Good Balance

The line feed doesn't work. Save yourself the headache.

This demonstration looks so easy but it's not. I bought the 60 volt weed pro and it's a pain in my butt. I had to take the bottom off again because the string broke off right at both holes and I couldn't get them out. Now I can't get the bottom back on as before. It takes two people and a screw driver. My weed eater is sitting on my table and try as I do, I just can't get the bottom to snap right in like this guy has his do. I would never buy this brand again.

If you don't have to take it apart to get the line out, how do you get the old piece of line out? 😅

I just got my Green Pro 80v 16" model similar to that. I'm having trouble with the handle assembly. I tighten the knob but it only has one bolt. It's not sturdy enough to support weight of machine. Shaft keeps popping out of the side that doesn't have a bolt.

I've got the 60v ST60L00. Can I use the new bumper head on my unit?

Thanks so much, you just saved my sanity with this video, looking at the spool it makes no sense at all. Follow these steps and don’t ask questions. That will get it done, it’s a two minute operation if you do.

I have the 60V trimmer with the green head, and it doesn't seem that intuitive like the trimmer you just showed. The tap/advance feature doesn't seem to work and i bough the prerolled spools from greenworks. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

great presentation, also how you replease the electric motor on this trimer .Thank you for reply

I bought one of these and I’m having trouble when I tap the head the string does not feed it has drove me crazy does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem ?

Once I put the string through the weedeater, the head would not turn to finish loading the string. Any idea as to what's wrong?

I've have the Greenworks Pro ST60L02 and the bumper head is so chewed up you cannot see where the arrows are. And cannot find REPLACEMENT PARTS for the bumper head & cap. Any suggestions.....Anyone??

Do you have to restring/rethread like that as you trim to move the string along (during and throughout EVERY trim)? Or do you do that ONLY when you run out of string completely and need to replace the entire spool?

Also, must you remove that black cover plate to do this, or were you just removing it for demonstration purposes via closeup?

I have only used a trimmer once and fought with it until I gave up. I need help. My lawn guy cracked and put holes in my new siding and has pulverized 2 shrubs after only 2 mows. I now need to order new siding which will not match because it'll come from a different lot. Please help. I hope you are still answering comments and that this posts.

I have a green works 60 V trimmer that I can’t get the new line in to. How do I remove the head to see if there is a blockage?

This was awesome & helpful, I subscribed

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!😊❤

Kenny
Can you get the Load N Go head as a replacement part for an older model Greenworks 60V the kind with the battery that loads from the back end ?
Would it be interchangeable with that style / model ?

How do I change a stringer cassette with restrung line?
Model ST60L00?

Thanks! What you showed made fixing mine a snap!

Great video. And the process to switch out the is so much easier than on my old trimmer.

Thank you!!!!

Good video. Thanks. I am going to buy a trimmer this weekend

The line replacement mechanism is such a pile of garbage. Kinda-sorta works when it's brand new, but once the bottom part gets worn it's impossible to see the arrow that you have to line it up with, and nearly impossible to get a grip on it to wind it.

I just spent an hour and a half trying to replace the line, see if any alternate methods could work, it's an absolute mess. How is this supposed to be better than the old method of cutting individual pieces that go straight through the middle, and replacing them manually when necessary?

This is more work than that even when the thing functions correctly, and just plain doesn't work at all when it's worn. I'll never buy another trimmer with this design again.

Other than that, the trimmer is a great product with plenty of power and long battery life... just wish I could use the freaking thing!

If the manual doesn't say not to touch the head with a battery inserted (and it probably dooooooooooooooes) then it should.

Hi Kenny wonder if you could help I have the 60v trimmer but ever since I replaced the line after the original line ran out the bump head does not feed the line I am using the 080 but I bought off amazon does it need to be greenworks brand? I have read other people having this issue.

Once the string head breaks there are no spare parts.

Yoy are 100% terrible at showing us anything especially yoyr camera guy, you are not explaining step by step how to get the spool off or anything i am having a hard time taking mine off and you pop yours off like it was never locked on there

80V version with 4Ah battery on sale at Costco was cheaper. Essentially you buy the trimmer, they throw in a free 4Ah battery.

Hello Kenny, how or what i need to do to turn the knob in order to wind the line after i thread the line thru the holes? The knob is stuck. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for sharing.

My husband won't let me replace the cord. Thank you for your video, very helpful. Elizabeth

Is it ok to use it without the guard on it ?

Wait until u have to replace the bump knob , there products are throw aways.

you are the hero Gotham needs

I have 60v battery from a Warrior Eco trimmer. Can use it in the Greenwoeks trimmer?

:|
Wow.

Thank you! I knew it was easier than I was trying to do!

This trimer work real good
But this company is have not customers service if you buy this trimer or any other greenworks items remember the o ly you can find in the stores is wire and blades and batteries
No other parts
And Terrible customer service
But those equipment works good just be prepare to change this every year and a half maximum duration engine or motor still works but no replacement parts

so, the arrow on my bump knob has been scratched off during use. any suggestions on how to line it up properly? do i need to buy a new bump knob? how often are those typically needing to be replaced? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, I just watched a video of someone taking the whole head apart to restring and thought...there has got to be a better way. And now I got it!

I couldn’t find them at Lowe’s I bought my 80 V at Costco for $219.

Ever since I have add to add line, and re-wind, It has not worked the same. It sure was nice that first go around when I could tap it to release more wire, now I have to do it manually, sucks!

thanks!

trimmer works well but the line feed system is poor. If you use basic round line it's better but twisted line wants to bind up and cross over inside the spool causing it to become almost impossible to load the line. I've just gone back down to round line and only load about 10ft of line at a time, anything more than that and you would need some large channel locks to grip that knob. I would buy this again without hesitation if they made improved the line feed, but would never recommend buying this in it's current state!

Thanks Kenny! After purchasing the 80v trimmer and leaf blower combo at Costco last year. I had misplaced the directions and really found it difficult to wind the trimmer. Your video is the best and a saved me that headache moving forward! Quick and easy! I highly recommend this trimmer as well as the leaf blower!

Can I order a replacement load and go system or by one at a store that deals in Greenworks products ?

I have a 60V can I get a replacement trimmer head and bump knob exactly like the ones that were on my trimmer when I bought it ?

I've got the 13 in pro 60v version. How long should the length of line be to insert into the string winder? I've got . 08 line.
